I honestly feel that it should be more than just moving away from slavery references, but also because these naming changes makes it more approachable or easier to understand for beginners and non-native English speakers as well.
I'm not a native English speaker in any way, and I find main or trunk easier to understand than master. It might be different for other people though, but I think that's just because they're accustomed to a certain word.
There's also another thing that can be done, let's say that thanks to all the complicated scripts, it makes it impossible for someone to move away from using master as a default branch name. I think that what they could do to alleviate this is by referring master to something else, we should push for that instead of flaming others 🙂
